but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. not today.

talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto® and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once a day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com. in libya students are remembering an american chemistry teacher shot and killed on thursday. he was gunned down on the street

. good morning. happy friday. welcome to wusa9. today is friday, december 6, 2013. i'm jessica doyle in for andrea roane. i'm mike hydeck. you're looking at a live shotout side nelson mandela's home. he passed away yesterday. we'll have more coming up in a moment. erica grow is in for howard. she has the weather. erica, well start with you. we have a lot to talk about. it's mild out there right now. most of the showers we had during the overnight have moved out but there are more showers on the way and i want you to know before you step out the door that this is the mildest it will be all day. temperatures falling during the day. so definitely grab the jacket as well as the umbrella as you're heading out the door. let's start off with a look at the michael & son weather cam. you can tell we don't have rain falling right now because it's a nice clear view there. in the day planner more scattered showers on the way. a temperature of 61 degrees downtown. but falling by noon to 55.

we'll be at 49 degrees by 4:00 as you're heading back home from work. we're going to see that possibility of some steady rain moving in and tonight with the cold front, it looks like we could see a thunder storm as well. but very mild out there right now. 4:25. 46 in cumberland and only 34 in cumberland. here's a one-hour loop of doppler radar. a patch of showers just moved through in the past 20 minutes moving up to the east and northeast but there is more rain on the way. the wide view shows the heavier rain cells in the panhandle of west virginia. steadier rain west of the beltway out toward chantilly and we could see some of that moving from front royal through winchester over the next half- hour or so and even lightning strikes down here in the northern neck of virginia.

much more on your forecast coming up in a few minutes but right now let's get a look at traffic with beverly. good morning a wet start means for slick roadways and fog out there to worry b. around the capitol beltway the only issue we've had is volume right now and the wet pavement. northbound i-95 heading into springfield, lanes have been open. an accident on the outer loop at telegraph road out of the roadway last report so that's not really an issue for you. maryland beltway incident free right now. but traffic in and out of baltimore. i-95 south of kayton avenue impacted by a serious crash. southbound lanes are completely shut down and they've been diverting the southbound traffic on the northbound lanes of 95 so headed to baltimore don't use northbound 95 because of the two left lanes closed there to turn that southbound traffic around. and a better bet now certainly seems to be the bw parkway 295 north to baltimore right now or even 29 as a consideration.

we'll keep monitoring this as the morning goes on and we'll be back with more coming up. back to you. >> thanks, bev. talk to you in a little bit. he changed the word. nelson mandela's fight for equality in south africa meant that millions of people would have a better life. this is a live shot of the celebration outside his home in hoe johannesburg. he died yesterday at the age of 95. a public memorial service is expected to take place at a johannesburg soccer stadium the next few days. >> his funeral will take place in nine days at his ancestral home. before he was a freedom fighter at the beginning 95 years ago, he was just a boy his mom named troublemaker. >> reporter: nelson mandela's triumph fact walk to eedom in 1990 after 27 years in south

africa's notorious robin island prison mandela stepped into the waiting arms of his family and joyous expectations of an entire country. >> i cherish the idea -- [indiscernible] >> reporter: he not only became south africa's first black president but an international icon. he won the nobel peace prize after managing to put aside any thoughts of vengeance against his former jailers and instead brought them into a unity covet preserving the nation even as the apartheid system crumb bammed. >> -- crumbled. >> i have fought very firmly. >> reporter: nelson mandela's given name in the south african language translates as troublemaker. it was a teacher who changed it to nelson as the young mandela grew up in a privileged home and first became a lawyer representing blacks who had been forced off their
